I like the Spoonbill for its close-up detail, the Mimicry just because it is a lovely shot, the Lying in Wait because of everything about it, the Amish Country for its beauty....Those aren't in any particular order. How do I choose between something so diverse as a lovely crab spider photo and a beautiful autumn scene??? Like comparing apples to oranges! All the sunsets are lovely! I refuse to choose.
